Forgiveness. Trust. Deference. Betrayal. Denial. Acceptance. Repeat. You just take, Take; Never give anything away, Until we break, Break; Hang our heads in shame; Listen to the voices, Tell us comforting lies; Give in to paranoia, When you're in disguise; CHORUS Make me a martyr, For the things I've done; Make me a martyr, So I'll be the one– To take the pain away, The world–it needs to feel a change; Make me the martyr– Make me The Martyr of the Day; Oh, listen to the voices, Tell us comforting lies; Give in to paranoia, When you're in disguise; Take, And take; Never give anything away, Until we break, Break; Hang our heads in shame; (Chorus) Make me the Martyr of the Day; Make me the Martyr– Make me the Martyr of the Day; Make me the Martyr of the Day; Video by Nate Kepner of Theriaca Lyrics by Kyle Batenburg of Theriaca Music by Theriaca Produced by Scooter Allen Copyright 2025more

This song is about overcoming depression and doubt in oneself & realizing that the most important time will always be *now*. So, keep your eyes open and take it all in while you can! Sordid; I've been trapped in your lies; All this time I've dreamed in black and white; But in my eyes… PRE CHORUS 1 I'm broken, And vacant; Diseased, And contagious; Just a shell, Of all I never could become; PRE CHORUS 2 But if I had the chance to do it all again; I wouldn't change it (I wouldn’t change it); I wouldn’t change it; CHORUS (1/2 the first time) Live in the moment; But keep your eyes open; There's no escape, But the path that we make; I want you to breathe in the moment But keep your mind open; There's no escape But the path that we make Restless; I've been walking in my sleep; All this time in my dreams I've seen it– Tearing at the seams; (Pre Chorus 1) (Pre Chorus 2) (Chorus) (Solo) Breathe in the moment but keep your eyes open; There’s no escape but the path that we make; (Chorus) Lyrics by Kyle Batenburg of Theriaca Music by Theriaca Produced by Scooter Allen Copyright 2025more
